Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of sudden death all over the world. The aetiology of sudden cardiac death among young adults includes Brugada syndrome and myocarditis. Brugada syndrome is a genetic abnormality of sodium channels in the myocardium with a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern. Myocarditis has several aetiologies including infections. One of the most common cardiotropic viruses is parvovirus B19. This infection presents as a febrile illness in childhood and may result in fatal outcome, more frequently in adults. In this report we present a case of a young man who suffered from a mild upper respiratory tract infection. After recovery he had an episode of syncope and was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. Some weeks later he died suddenly at home while sleeping. The detailed forensic pathological, histological and microbiological investigation revealed a parvovirus B19-associated myocarditis. Synergic effect of structural and functional abnormalities of the myocardium may lead to death. The cause and potential complications (eg. myocarditis) of even mild infections should be monitored carefully.
